VR porn aside (because... why?), this is the attitude that makes me not like Apple. They just fundamentally don’t think that the devices you buy are really yours. They still see them as extensions of their own marketing.

How shitty do you have to be as a company, to not allow people to redeem their fairly earned game time codes *after* they’ve been laid off too?
As shitty as Blizzard, apparently.

I nearly gave up on the game after about 4 hours because every single companion was trying to screw me. It was extremely off putting. We have tadpoles in our heads that are going to turn us into mind flayers, but sure keep hitting on me. I pushed through and it got better, but that beginning section was rough. 

I’m fine with this. In fact, I would love to see more rpgs explore relationships that are not romantic. 

Unfortunate, but hopefully they’ll be as well-handled as The Outer Worlds’s companions.

Agreed. BG3 is one of my new favorite games, but the overly thirsty companions and jiggle/dangle physics were just too much.

Thank fuck honestly, that’s refreshing. Not every damn rpg needs a dating sim built in.

As someone in almost every major NA test I can confidently tell you that the end result is something painfully mid

Yeah, this was my mistake. Only the first version of the Wii would play GC games, but later versions wouldn’t. And yes, the 3DS would reluctantly play DS games at the wrong resolution, unless you fiddled. All fixed now.

We all know what is coming next.

1995 was too soon, the technology hadn’t matured yet.

But it’s been nearly 30 years, the time is now.

For the Virtual Boy 2.

Nintendo has only once previously released a backward compatible console: the Wii U. Even the 3DS wouldn’t play DS carts...

I agree, cheaper would be better, but given we live in the timeline where Nintendo ports 30-year-old games and charges $60 for them, and Sony has $70 as its starting price on everything, I was kind of impressed this wasn’t a complete gouge.

It also includes the DLC.  So let’s just say you ARE getting the game for $50 and the DLC for $10.  Sound good?

John Walker, I will pay you $270 for an mp3 of Aloy burping.

If they were exactly the same, as you claim, the two models would perfectly overlap. They don’t. In many instances, they’re not even close.

I’m getting that way with Crafting Mechanics in general. Final Fantasy 16 was a big offender for me of “why the heck can’t this just be me buying/finding a better sword?”

All of these survival games are just Inane Chore List Simulators, and I do not even remotely understand the appeal.

What? Scaling means nothing. Scaling is a completely transform-free process in 3D modeling. 1 inch means 1 foot means 1 astronomical unit because these virtual worlds are completely unit free.

An interesting thing I learned about all of this recently is than Nintendo doesn’t have copyright on every Pokemon they have ever made. It would be very very expensive to do so, they mostly maintain Gen1 stuff, Pikachu, the last 2 gens of starters and some but not all legendary pokemon.

hey you know what DRM is supposed to stop?

hey guess who the only people not terribly inconvenienced by DRM are
